PED CERTIFICATION - PRESSURE EQUIPMENT DIRECTIVE

What is PED Certification?

The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) is European Legislation aimed at removing the technical barriers to trade relating to the supply of pressure equipment throughout Europe. The PED is based on Essential Safety Requirements (ESRs) that govern design, manufacturing, inspection, and testing.

PED affects most equipment that will be placed on the market in the European Economic Area (EEA) designed for pressures above 0.5 bar g or 7.25 psi g.

The European directives for pressure equipment consist of:

  • Simple pressure vessels (SPVD) – 2014/29/EU: Vessels for compressed air and nitrogen. For example, air compressors, pneumatic systems, braking systems, etc.
  • Pressure equipment (PED) – 2014/68/EU:: Pressure vessels, heat exchangers, reactors, cryogenic vessels, water tube boilers, shell boilers, safety valves, valves, fire extinguishers, cylinders for breathing apparatus, etc.
  • Transportable pressure equipment (TPED) – 2010/35/EU: High-pressure gas cylinders, LPG cylinders, cryogenic transport vessels, one-way bottles, gas cartridges, bundles of cylinders (frames), tanks for the transport of gases (cryogenic gases/LPG/etc.) on road and rail.
